QUESTION - what can happen if I just resort to the original clamp Ford used and just clamp the stainless pipe down??? does it put the manifold casting in danger of cracking???
So tired of that dadburn rattle and I'm not about to do away with my stainless exhaust!!
I purchased an oversize muffler hanger with woven insulation inside it with my S/S muffler. That lets the tailpipe move when it gets hot but does not rattle.

Bratton's part number 7131. I'm sure other vendors have the same thing.
